Citizen science volunteer monitoring program: wildlife tracking and monitoring. Complete six training hikes that suit your schedule throughout the seasons. Training is Dec. 6 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Bafflin Sanctuary. Wildlife tracking volunteers monitor study sites in Willington, Canterbury, and Woodstock quarterly. In Willington and Woodstock, there is over ten years of data showing regular presence of fisher, river otter, mink, red fox, coyote, as well as the occasional black bear, moose and porcupine. These sites also provide perfect habitat for white tailed deer, raccoon, beaver, and a variety of rodents. Great thanks to Chris and Kathy Demers who led the Willington team for several years and to Cheryl Dziura-Duke who is the new team leader. Tracey Ferguson leads the team at the newest study site where signs of bobcat, fisher, beaver, fox, and mink have been reported in Canterbury. Registration with citizen science coordinator, Paula Coughlin, is required, call 860-928-4948 or email pcoughlin@ctaudubon.org. The training fee per hike is $50 for CAS members and $60 for non-members.
